2) How can you make a symlink for a user so that it can be seen while
they are in an FTP session. Basically, I have a user who cannot see the
symlink I've set up for them...not sure why.

Seems strange. Do they have permissions on the
linked dir?

Perhaps they are using a Microsoft brower-based
FTP. It doesn't seem to "see" symlinks. Can you
wean them to a real client?
